I just bought a set of Michelin Cross climate 2s for my Subaru Crosstrek. A specific winter-only set would be best, but a good all-season works too.
PS4s are incredible. They make any car they are on feel 800lbs lighter and handling nimbleness seems to come with.
On my daily car (e39 BMW) I use Michelin CrossClimate tires, because it doesn't get realy hot or really snowy here (North-Western Europe). As for all seasons, they are considered pretty good.
But I put some pilot sport 4s on the sti for the first time this year and... What can you say, it's a completely different car. For handling, it shares absolutely nothing in common with the same car on economy tires.
I like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It's a well-rounded performance tire. Track ready, great handling wet and dry, comfortable on the road, 30k mi treadlife.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+'s, MUCH better than the Falkens that came with the car.
I bought the CrossClimate 2’s for my 2018 last year , we had 18” of unplowed snow and didn’t miss a beat. I tried to get stuck and couldn’t. They’ve been excellent in the rain. The few people that have driven my car always compliment the way it handles.
I bought the cross climate 2's for my wife's mazda cx-5. They are amazing tires so far, she loves the traction with the provide. They grip really well in heavy rainfall and xant wait to see them perform in the winter.
I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.
I swear by myselfthat those tires SUCK!!! Consider that they came stock on my gsr wen it was stock and torqueless and well come rain, come slipping on a normal turn with a car that didn't produce any torque below 5k rpms as opposed to a gti below 2k rpm..
